Monday - Reef Endeavour sets sail for Fitzroy Island amidst a fanfare of streamers. Time to relax and be carried away on your Barrier Reef adventure.

Tuesday - Captain Cook sought refuge at Cooktown to repair his ship during his epic voyage of discovery. The town itself was later carved out of the Cape York wilderness during the gold rush. Today Cooktown is a living museum of pioneer Australia. Then head for Two Isles, an island so tiny you can circumnavigate its shell strewn beach in less than an hour. Two isles is your own uninhabited coral cay where the only sounds are the local bird life and the waves on the coral reef.

Wednesday - A blue lagoon yachties dream about long white sandy beaches. Lizard Island is the jewel of the reef - a blue lagoon and long white sandy beaches that yachties dream about. For those who know the beauty of sunrise at sea, an early morning climb to the island peak is rewarded with panoramic views. Snorkel over coral gardens only metres from the beach. Hand feed fish from the glass bottom boat - then slip away for a romantic stroll along a balmy bay. The Pacific Island Night will complete a perfect day in paradise.

Thursday - Ribbon Reef No.5 is one of the Marine Park's most spectacular and remote destinations lying on the edge on the continental shelf. It's a true `barrier' reef and home to a profusion of unbelievable sea creatures. For arm-chair coral viewing, join the Marine Naturalist on the glass bottom boat. Tonight celebrate at the Captain's Dinner - a gala night to remember.

Combine the 4 Night Northbound and the 3 Night Southbound for a 7 Night Cruise to experience the ultimate in cruising.
